>>Thanks for the tip. This is the closest I've yet seen to what I was looking for. Note, however, that it doesn't quite pick everything up: it doesn't get the outer HTML tags, for example. It does get the HEAD section, however. I'm not sure if it's possible for this to miss anything sandwiched between the initial HTML and HEAD, and it definitely is not quite as complete as View Source.

I'm looking for a way to reference the entire text, as displayed by the View Source menu commands. Is there a simple way to get to this directly from the document object?
